This is not a complete or 100% accurate index; several breeds are missing-Dutch hookbill, mallard, and others. All egg production is based on different websites that I could find data on birds. Some egg productions such as the Welsh seem high in my opinion. Any questions on Rouens, pekins, calls, campbells, crested, muscovies, or runners, I can try to answer because I have raised them all. Also any additional input on certain breed egg production or breeds left out is much appreciated.

Like I said, the numbers are not 100% accurate due to the nature of some of the websites, I collected data from. But you are totally right, that is a lot of production for a heavy duck. Just wanted to post this because the data that is accurate is better in my opinion than just a site saying high, low, or medium egg production.
